Full In-Depth Review/Accuracy Data: dcra.in/TICKR2020
Here's your full in-depth review of the Wahoo TICKR & TICKR X 2020 (V2) editions. These straps add multiple concurrent Bluetooth Smart connections (up to 3), plus unlimited ANT+ connections. Atop that, the TICKR X gets new ANT+ Running Dynamics metrics, making it compatible with Garmin watches that support Running Dynamics. That means metrics like vertical oscillation and ground contact time, as well as stride length and cadence. I dive into the device free mode, as well as the regular connection modes for apps including Zwift, TrainerRoad, The SufferFest, as well as both a Wahoo ROAM & Garmin Edge 530. Oh, and a Fenix 6 for the running tests.

2:51 - So it's actually THICKR... (Sorry, had to make that one)

@chrisfirgaira6967 4 года назад

I'm pretty sure they're saying it's thinner when you consider the connection tabs on the strap, the new design looks to be inset.

@marcbryant8482 4 года назад

Thanks Ray, excellent review. And liked the quick quips too, made a straightforward review fun.

@janpeterlassen7791 4 года назад

This 12min video on HR staps is probably one of the funniest videos you ever made!

Thank you. I am adding this to my spin bike and can't wait to see your in-depth on the IQ2 long term.

@strouja 4 года назад

Thanks Ray. I thought I had lot of heart rate monitors but you put all of us to shame that is nuts how many straps you have. On a serious note great view and thanks for the information. Best part of video “I liked it”. I laughed as we all do that.

@sensovision 3 года назад

Ray, thanks for the review! Once I've heard that Wahoo Tickr X has running dynamics I thought it could be a cool thing to get that data in time when my Vivosmart doesn't support that, but after your review I realized that it would be as good for me as any other strap...

@RodrigoJaraPiccardo 4 года назад

Great review as always. I have the 'old Tickr' but am tempted to get the 2020 X just for the run dynamics... Best quote of vid though - "I basically licked it"... LOL... poetry.

@HLaB75 4 года назад

My old HRM failed two weeks ago (probably all the sweaty turbo sessions I have been doing). I wanted the TICKR but because of the current climate I couldn't get it in the UK so I settled for the CooSpo H808S and touch wood it seems to be good and I like the reassuring beep it gives on connection 👍

@MrGigigigi1984 3 года назад

Hi Ray. Thanks for the awesome reviews and recommendations! I was wandering what you think of products from Decathlon: the chest HR monitor is much cheaper than competition (indeed doesn't have special features): is it worth it to track HR while running? On the other hand, the Amazfit Stratos seems a good GPS watch at that price point; would you still prefer the Vivoactive and the likes?

@t89black 4 года назад

Thank you for the video. So do you recommend and is this the best you have ever used? I am interested in getting the TICKR X

@AdamLechner 4 года назад

Hi Ray, what's your experience with TickrX's running pace data? Running in the woods my Garmin often struggles with actual pace.

@sbrads8550 4 года назад

Great review Ray. Disappointed in the lack of GCT balance. I have found this to be the most useful running dynamic metric. Over time alignment of my lower back / pelvis drfits and this is perfectly captured in my GCT favouring one side over the other. Acts as a great injury prevention tool. The HRM-Tri/Run does the job but I really dislike the pod built into the strap.

@Dcrainmaker 4 года назад

It's a good area to use it for. Good catch!

@IanB17 4 года назад

Hope they’ve made the straps more durable. Mine seems to die after 2 years although it does get used extensively.

@Imm3rs1on 4 года назад

I bought the old ticker X 2 months ago... Now they have running dynamics for garmin, what a great timing I had! By the way how it is the compatibility between the old and new straps? I'm guessing they will stop selling the old replacement straps

@davidsonmarisia 3 года назад

The one feature that is really important in running dynamics is Ground Contact Time Balance... it's critical to identify left/right balance or lack thereof, its a indicator of back problems, or underlying injuries... overall, it the one think that must be on... and its not

@andymontier1296 4 года назад

Can you use these to swim, I’m not fussed about the swim metrics. I just want to not have to put on a HRM strap in transition. I can use my watch, but I would prefer to not have to move my position the bike. Just want to know if I go for a open water swim, the get on the bike. Will it present me with my hr on my bike computer

@MrColombia12 4 года назад

I have a fenix 6 sapphire ti, would you recommend the hrm run or wahoo tickr x? I have an hrm run but I went on a 10 mile run with it and for most of the run it was 180+ bpm. Maybe it's not accurate idk maybe wahoo tickr x is better idk. Awesome vid!!!

@ChamindaJ 4 года назад

Thanks for the review. Do you think Wahoo connects with Garmin Fernix 5 with out any issues?

@stephenbetley9596 4 года назад

Dual BT for Zwift & TrainerRoad is a buy for me. Run both - just to rack up XP - and can only track HR on one, normally TR, at the moment. That and the new run dynamics. Actually a good upgrade all considering.

@Dcrainmaker 4 года назад

Yup, exactly that I do...

@ucdengboss 4 года назад

I run TR and Zwift at the same time as well and hate how I only get HR data to one of them. Considering the "regular" TICKR here.

@DushkoKantardjiev 4 года назад

@jorgitogaitan 4 года назад

Oh cool. I wanted to see if it works w iPad on Zwift or TrainerRoad or Sufferfest and also paired w the wahoo headwind fan. That’s what I think will work in my setup. Great video as always! And please don’t run naked in the woods hahahaha

@deannahawkins3466 4 года назад

I’m using sufferfest with no cadence metrics. Old TickrX cadence apparently not compatible, so I was thinking of getting a foot pod which I gather will do this (using watch for HR). Does the new tickrX send cadence data to sufferfest?

@avrc9285 4 года назад

Hi there I enjoyed your video. I am thinking about purchasing the wahoo chest strap but also have a vivoactive 4 and therefore I doubt if it will be adding value to my workouts which are mainly indoor cardio and some biking outdoors. What’s your view?

@andrewlabat9963 Год назад

Nice review of all at once, but I think had you measured the thickest part of the device, where the strap connects to the actual monitor, you'd find the difference, because when wearing it, that is how thick it will actaully be..

@TrailBoundco 2 года назад

How do I get the wahoo tickets x memory data onto garmin connect or training peaks?

@PenguinTom1 3 года назад

As the tickr x records hr data from putting it on have you used it for an outdoor swim under a wetsuit where you take note of the time when you start and stop and upload the hr data later? Apologies if you’ve answered this elsewhere and I missed it. Love the channel.

@jvisscher 4 года назад

I switched from the old tickr to tickr fit (on the arm), mostly because the plastic tabs on the straps on the old tickr kept breaking.. Hope the new tickr (and strap) is holding up better.

@davidsonmarisia 4 года назад

My opinion tickr Xis the best HRM in the market... I have 2 units of the previous model... One problem, it does not relay GCT Balance for running... That is the single most important feature in running dynamics... It is a must if looking out for injuries due to unbalanced running posture... Wahoo support confirmed the the unit does read and calculates it... Bit shows it as running smoothness which is not the same thing... Had to buy a Garmin Tri HRM...

@danielappelhans3489 4 года назад

First, thanks for all your great and informative reviews! With the heart rate straps I got a question about durability. Me and a lot of athletes I know experience problems with heart rate straps over time. It doesn’t really matter which brand (Polar, Garmin, Wahoo), they all seem to cause problems after a few month/ a year or so of admittedly heavy usage (indoors, hot conditions etc.). They have drop outs, slow responsiveness etc. But the Tickr usually failed earliest and I’ve heard from some people making the same observations. So the durability seems really not that good. What is your experience on this? I don’t really see wrong usage being a cause here (straps not wet/tight enough etc.) because they work totally fine in the first few month. Thanks!

@torma99 3 года назад

I use simply cheap chinese straps with my HRM, usually odered them for 1-2 USD/EUR, last time, I got 3 for 4 EUR with shipping. I always change them after the indoor season ends in the spring and use a new one

lol i have 1 chest strap(old garmin) plus my samsung watch, the tickerx seems like a good thing, what i wonder is if this would be good for my backpacking trips, im a data nerd and like information. i wonder how this would do on a 3 or 4 day trip, would have my phone but i always shut off everything but the gps, if i grab the data each day at the end it would let me review it while my memory is fresh, do you think this would fit good in this use case?

@nfcc1 4 года назад

I am curious if anyone else has had reliability issues with the Tickr X?! My first one stopped working after a few months of use. I opened it to replace the battery, assuming that was the issue, to find out that humidity had caused internal damage to the unit (I have only used the strap for cycling/indoor cycling). While that unit was promptly replaced under the warranty my second unit just stopped working a couple weeks ago, for no apparent reason (this one does not appear to have any damage or signs of humidity). I now wonder whether to go back to Polar, which I’ve used for years without problems, or give Tickr another chance and take advantage of the multiple straps that I have laying around! Has anyone else had a bad experience with Tickr?

@demarkolee1504 Год назад

can you also track cadence on a regular exercise bike in the gym?...or...Does it have to be on a wahoo indoor trainer or any other trainer that has blue tooth?

@jamesblack5219 4 года назад

One other useful piece of information. If you have a hairy chest the wahoo is difficult to pair, bought mine in the off season and actually had to shave to get good contact, my old Suunto didn’t have as much trouble. After initial pairing haven’t had any issues, but we will see once the chest hair is back to full glory.
